Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I’ll see you at the draft in the spring, Texans. Hopefully with a new GM, a totally new coaching staff, and a top-5 pick.

Do you know what would be super cool? If the Houston Texans' defense and the Houston Texans' offense decided to play well together in the same game. That'd be super cool.

I'd add, since I'm not watching live, only following along online, how has the Texans' offense looked today? A 16 pt (including that 3 pt gift at the end of the half) first half has me thinking... improved...?

Now I'm not watching the game, just following along online. But it seems to me that the Cowboys attempting a 65 FG with 30 seconds left on the clock wasn't a great idea. Missing it (which they did) gives the Texans the ball at midfield and a shot at a FG (which they attempted and made). 6 pt swing.

2027 lockout aside the Astros need a semi-rebuild. I'd love for the team to bring Eve Rosenbaum in as GM. The team should trade Peña Paredes Walker & Hader (I know about existing NTCs). I'd build around Hunter, Cam, Yordan, & maybe Yainer. Between the current minors, the haul from the trades...

Hey Astros BS: what's the deal with Okert? He went on the IL like a month ago with a gammy hammy. But they were saying 2-3 weeks, and I feel like they shipped him to some CIA black site and pretended like he was never on the roster. I haven't heard anything about him. What's the word?

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

The Texans' season is over. Nick Caley should be looking for a job on Monday. DeMeco and Caserio should both be on the hot seat. If this team goes 6-11 or worse, they need to clean house.

It's funny to me that the Texans have like 60 yards of offense in the fourth quarter of a game against a team that had given up over 500 yards of offense in each of its first two games.

The Texans are doing that thing where it looks like they have no idea how the game of football is played. Where every aspect of the team seems to be misfiring. And this isn't a new issue. I remember it under Capers, Kubiak, BOB, all the way to today. Is this some kind of franchise curse?

So, if the Texans had simply executed on special teams, at worst, would be down 6 points right now. At best, they would be tied (terrible special teams plays awarded the Bengals with two FGs).
